Dr Parks is excellent. Personable and knowledgeable.
Great doctor! Very communicative and listens well.
I love Dr. Parks and his staff!
My hip replacement went extremely smoothly and the recovery was very manageable. I really appreciate the whole team who supported my evaluation, surgery and recovery!
Takes his time, listens, very friendly! Discusses questions
Dr Park’s is super nice and very apologetic for my weight. My appointment was at 10:30 am and I didn’t get called back until 11:40 and then had to wait in the room another 30 mins before he came in. That needs to improve. But I really like him. He’s a great doctor.
Exception care and he was helpful with my needs.
Just hoping for NO SURGERY
Dr. Parks is the best diagnostician, most compassionate and skilled Orthopedist. His goal is comfort and prioritizes conservative, non surgical approaches whenever possible.
Great Doctor enjoying my new knees. Keep doing your God's given gift to help people enjoy their life.
